January 2008

Happy New Year. I bet you had thought I ended this blog. Nope. Just taking an extended leave to celebrate a wonderful year. My first year of blogging. Hooray! I did it.
Had a wonderful Christmas holiday. Auntie Carol just returned home to the Yukon, after a great visit here with us. Dawson's hockey is crazy now. Hockey every weekend till the End of February. Projects keeping me busy include: self improvement, sewing a sleeping bag for Dawson's teddy bear, work (London Drugs), and cooking. Yes, you read cooking,and menu planning and Tae Bo exercises.
Will post some more photos soon. j.

Small Town Rink

Well this post brings me and Dawson such joy and excitement. He couldn't sleep on Friday night. Our first hockey road trip. (Even though it was only 20 minutes down the highway.) What a nice arena. Dawson said it was so cold on the ice, his toes froze. We get the opportunity to go again this weekend and we will throw on some thicker socks for Dawson's feet this time, Brent will wear long underwear and I will bring a blanket. Oh yeah, we lost our game 3-2! J.

One Big Bear

Here is my little guys with his Teddy Bear for one of his favorite events the Regina Pats hold. It is called Teddy Bear toss . When the pats score their first goal everyone tosses their bear out onto the ice. They are all collected and the Pats then give them out to the children who are sick in the hospital. It took Dawson 3 tries to get his bear over the glass. If you look close you can see his bear on the ice. j.

Brent's Aunt and Uncle

For my family back home, I've posted this photo. They often hear us speak of Brent's Aunt and Uncle. I managed to capture this great photo of them and their granddaughter. We will be spending Christmas at their house this year. I am sure it will be a great day had by all. J.

Cars PJ's

Wow. Does he ever look tall in these pjs. Another gift from the care parcel. Thanks again. He enjoyed everything in the box. J.

Hmm, I just noticed in the last post, I said Dawson "reovered". I meant to write recovered. You probably gathered that. But just for the record, he has recovered well, so far. J.

The Best Robe Ever!

As you can see my little boy reovered well from his surgery on Friday. He is seen here on Sunday with his new robe on. He absolutely loves it!!! Thank you to all my aunts and grandma who sent that wonderful care parcel. j.

Happy 7th Birthday

Where does time go? I cannot believe this bundle of joy is now 7 years old? I can still remember the first day he was born - actually it was evening when he was born. Wow. So many memories and exciting times in the last 7 years somehow cross my memory on this date. Happy Birthday Son. (He does read evey posting you know!)
